A Closer Look at Toptracer Technology

Golf is a sport that requires practice, patience, and dedication to excel. Fortunately, the modern world provides us with tools that make it easier to work on our game, including Toptracer technology. At Tappan Golf Center in Tappan, New York, we’re excited to offer this innovative technology at our driving range, allowing visitors to get the most out of each practice session. Here, we discuss what it is and how it can help improve your game.

What Is Toptracer Technology?

Different golf clubs are meant for different distances, so competitive golfers need to know just how far they are hitting each club. That’s why state-of-the-art technologies like Toptracer technology are so useful. This advanced ball-tracing technology allows golfers to accurately measure the distance their balls travel, helping them better prepare for shots on the course. Because of its accuracy, Toptracer is trusted by the pros and is used on the PGA Tour and the European Tour.

The technology works by incorporating camera sensors into a course or driving range. These high-tech sensors can find and track the ball’s flight much more easily than the human eye. They can capture important swing-related data that is then transferred to devices, such as computers found within hitting bays. Aside from the distance the ball has traveled, other data points you can view include:

• Flightpath
• Speed
• Curve
• Apex
• Carry

Special Features

Toptracer technology doesn’t just provide on-screen information, however. For Toptracer Range mobile-enabled facilities, users can access a slew of additional features. You can create a profile to become part of their global golf community, and the app itself can save data from your sessions to help you track changes in your swing over time.

If competition is what you’re after, you’ll find leaderboards to add a fun challenge. These are displayed on monitors in driving ranges, allowing golfers to take on opponents from different hitting bays or different ranges all over the world. There are also games you can play, including Approach Challenge, Closest to the Pin, Points Game, and Long Drive, to help hone your skills. Options like Angry Birds and Go Fish are great for golfers of all ages.
